Owning a 570s would be awesome, but unfortunately no dealers in the Pacific NW at all, so no go.

I do prefer the looks and sound of the F-type over the NSX and 570s though. Both are great cars in their own right and obviously technologically superior to the F-Type.

I think the 570S Coupe is in for a bit of a tumble over the next 2 years as they cease production due to the introduction of the Spider.

I think we will start to see a lot of used Coupe examples hitting the market as people upgrade to the Spider or those that had it as an interim step while waiting for the 720S release.

I will be in the market for a used example below $140k in a couple of years so hope my prediction comes true

If they follow the path of all the mclarens with the exception of the P1 they will be 140K soon.

Hi All,

Figured this was the best place to jump in as a brand new forum member and owner of a 14' V8S. I am looking forward to perusing the forum regularly!

Hey mbourne!

I just bought a 17' NSX here yesterday. Got it in white with red interior, CCB's and all that jazz of your post (fell in love with the looks from your post + deal information of incentive)

Getting it delivered here soon, but wanted to ask.. how is the bumper clearance compared to F Type R. Is it noticeably lower or about the same?

thanks!

Acura was offering crazy incentive to move the cars so I couldn't pass it up. It's getting a lot of online hate but the car is absolutely fantastic.

I think I saw you on 275 today going in the opposite direction from me. I also saw a Huracan, F12, and some other cars on the same stretch.

And this is why JLR needs to focus on their current and new to the brand customers. They're so busy focusing on sales especially with all the new product they're launch..they're losing sight of their loyal customers.

This is not their problem. Focusing on sales is fine, being lazy and trying to increase sales is their problem. For example they were too lazy to make a Porsche 718 competitor that they took the F-Type and threw a 4-pot inside. Lazy. The 911 and Cayman are totally different cars sharing a similar styling. The F-Type Base and F-Type SVR are pretty much the same car sharing different engines.
